Pros:

• Very dynamic and full of action
• Very nice back and forth
• Good teamwork and fun

Cons:

• We need to get better organization at the beginning. There were many people late, many others didnt sign up, so we started 30 minutes late with all the placements and brief to do

[Rhodes.R]

Element Callsign: Section Leader (AXIS SL 1)
Element Leader: Corporal Rhodes.R

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Corporal Rhodes.R




Pros:

• This style of the match was really nice, I enjoyed the back and forth that we had going. I definitely would like to see it again!
• My FTLs took a lot of initiative to accomplish objectives given to them, more power to them!
• We had good comms for the most part
• A lot of new leaders took charge today and that's great to see.

Cons:

• The attendance took a while to count and there were some problems in organizing things.
• It seemed like some of the leadership who had said there were going to be here were not, people need to be sure about that sort of thing beforehand.
• The map was sub-par for armor, it wasn't bad, but I think more fun could have been had by keeping it to infantry only.

Improvements/Suggestions

• I want to add a +1 to the idea of allowing a garrison to be added to the central point once it's capped by one of the teams. More action more quickly would have been nice imo. This will probably take some workshopping of the OP though.
